Need a variable to get the prior schedule month

Is there a way to code in the STEPS tab to get the prior month?
We are getting errors by doing a value --
%%$CALCDATE %%MONTH -1
Is there a %%$CALCMONTH?

In the set panel you can do something like this:

LDPM = %%$CALCDATE %%$ODATE -%%ODAY
YYYYMM = %%SUBSTR %%LDPM 1 6
YYYYMMDD = %%YYYYMM.%%ODAY

Thanks for the response. I will test.

The test came back with a "CTMERR17".
I was told that the %%CALCDATE can only be used for a DAY and a MONTH.
